[Ja5on]

tried the chevy.  Im not the mose seasoned nascar driver on iracing, but to me it felt more twitchy

[smokeraider]

Ya... I purchased the Ford Fusion... twitchy it is LOL. Don't see many people with those new cars...

[jr1414]

I think they drive better, actually.

[bwiemers]

I've got both the chevy and the Ford Fusion, and I've found them twitchy, but then again I found the old car twitchy as well.   

 

I decided to stick with the nationwide car for the moment as this car is easy to drive compared to the Gen 6 cars.

After a lengthy and exhaustive investigation by iRacing, we regret to announce that we discovered a widespread cheating scandal within iRacing. The cheating is specific to drivers of the new Ford Fusion Gen6 NASCAR Sprint Cup cars. After numerous reports of suspected cheating, it was discovered that iRacing engineer Eric Hudec – a longtime Ford fan – intentionally modified the code related to engine horsepower on the Ford Fusion, thereby giving Ford drivers an additional 15bhp.
While we didn’t find specific evidence proving that members who have raced the Ford Fusion knew about the ‘enhancement’, we also did not find conclusive evidence that they didn’t know about it, so in the interest of fairness the iRacing review board has decided to suspend all member accounts that have competed in an official race session in the Ford Fusion. The suspensions will vary in length based on the number of races the individual has completed and range from 1 – 6 weeks. In addition to the suspension, any championship points earned in a Ford Fusion will be forfeited. All those affected by this ruling will receive and email notifying them of their specific penalty.
Due to the large number of penalties; iRacing will not be considering appeals on this matter.
Eric has been terminated from his position and iRacing is searching for a new vehicle dynamics engineer

 

 

Why would they take this out on their paying members? Does not seem fair to me..

Looks like an obvious April Fools joke.

[Birddogg66]

I was caught at the wrong time for such a Joke.

[mcunkle]

lol it happens to the best of us

[BK_NC]

First clue should have been the graphic with "Scandal" so stylized.  And that they put it on the front Member page  

 

 

 

 

Good April Fool's joke though.  It's cool the iRacing guys have a sense of humor to actually put it on the front page.

And if you click on the link in that article to apply for the job, that page goes upside down! LOL

Take care
